I was at one of the Red Friday events at Sportz Nutz and had gotten Kimble Anders and Tim Grunhard to sign my hat. I caught Lamar as he was leaving the event, and even though he was apparently in a hurry to leave, he took the time to sign autographs for 4 or 5 people who had lined up.
I didn't even really get the opportunity to talk to him other than getting the autograph and had never met him before, but I gotta tell ya, this is hard...finding out this morning that he had passed. He did so much for so many people and never sought out the recognition that he received and deserved. It's like another poster said earlier, I feel like I lost a member of my family today. It's very sad.
